Track 04: Nobody Told Me

[princeofjunes]

ACTION: The Record Store - Morning/Afternoon - Open

[All things considered, Yosuke is enjoying his new job at the record store, familiarizing himself with the music and keeping the records spinning. If you're in the market for some music, come on in and shop!]

ACTION: John Doe Park - Evening - Open

[Yosuke is sitting on a park bench, headphones on as he looks at the ground, despondant. He'd been wondering why he hadn't heard from Chie lately and wanted to make sure she was going to his (late) Birthday Party, so he'd gone after work in search of her.

He hadn't been prepared to see his friend all dressed up and flirting with the drone boys. No training, no kung fu, no arguing - done through and through.

He's not sure how to cope with that. He doesn't even know how long she's been this way. So he's simply sitting there, drowning his sorrows in the music and trying to cope with everything.]

[Nods.]

You're right. If we could take down a goddess, this place should be no problem!

[princeofjunes]

[He actually feels kind of accomplished now - it's not every day he gets the chance to cheer up Rise. Sure, it's his fault she was depressed, but that's not important]

See? We've got nothing to worry about. I kind of feel silly for even getting down - once Chie's back to normal, she'll never let me live it down.

Hehe, she really won't. I'm not going to try to keep it a secret either. [She giggles and winks.]

[princeofjunes]

Hey, don't go spreading any rumors! She'll get the wrong idea!

[enemyradar.livejournal.com]

Hehe, don't be silly! I'm just kidding, Yosuke-senpai.

[princeofjunes]

Jeez... I can't believe I fell for that. That was a good trick, Rise-chan.

[She giggles.]

Gee, thanks. I'm...kinda not surprised you fell for it.

[princeofjunes]

I'm pretty sure I should be insulted right now.

You know, it's not nice to pick on the emotionally distressed.

[enemyradar.livejournal.com]

Hehe, sorry! [Here, have a hug.] I just want you to feel a little better!

[princeofjunes]

[A hug from Rise? omgyesplease. Now he's smiling - who wouldn't be after that?]

Well, I guess I can forgive you. This time. I'm nice like that.

[She laughs and says teasingly:] Thanks so much. I'm forever in your debt!

[princeofjunes]

[Her laughter is infectious and he laughs as well for a moment]

Seriously, thanks for talking to me, Rise-chan. I owe you one.
